No, it should not work. The A/C evaporator is an entirely different animal than the heater core. The lines aren't made to handle antifreeze. I would see trouble in the making.

I think the heater core is situated by your accelerator pedal. It shouldn't be too hard to replace if it's leaking.

you dont need a heater core at all, just route the hose back into the intake manifold
